Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public safety professionals work together in life-and-death situations. During natural or transportation disasters, industrial accidents, shootings, suicides or dozens of other instances, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics are called upon to assist both injured and uninjured people. Although often romanticized in television series and in films, the real-life tasks of public safety professionals are usually unpleasant--restraining violent individuals and removing accident, homicide, and suicide victims from death scenes--and always highly stressful. They are frequently subjected to additional stress when their efforts are criticized by family members of the injured or deceased. Although stress can be harmful, even fatal, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics can have more productive and satisfying lives when they learn to positively control stress, rather than be controlled by it. This English language bibliography consisting of more than 700 references, covering the time period 1945 to early 1989, can help these and other professionals manage stress more effectively. Source publications, all of which are annotated, include books, articles, conference proceedings, theses, government publications, and dissertations. The bibliography section is composed of six chapters addressing psychological and physiological factors, the family, substance abuse, accidents, and suicide, with references arranged alphabetically by author surname. A list of acronyms and author and subject indexes complete the work. Of paramount importance to police officers, firefighters, and paramedics as well as their families, this bibliography will provide legislators, physicians, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and sociologists with extensive and substantial documentation on the stress-filled work lives of these public safety professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Good policing is not impossible. The reactions that have been associated with stressors are not inevitable. Many officers retire in good physical and emotional health and 100 back on their careers with pleasure. In a situation where stressers have led to maladaptive behavior on the part of individuals or organizations, change is called for. Change must be constant, as social conditions in the world around us vary. The police represent a force for the order necessary for society to function. It is not an easy job, but it is one that is worth doing well."

Book excerpt: The stress that comes with being a first responder has been known to lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide. However, few clinicians are informed about these health concerns and how to adequately treat them in this population. Therefore, there is an urgent need for practitioners to understand the latest information regarding treatments that will be useful to this specific population. Mental Health Intervention and Treatment of First Responders and Emergency Workers is an essential reference source that focuses on the latest research for diagnosing and treating mental health issues experienced by emergency personnel and seeks to generate awareness and inform clinicians about the unique circumstances encountered by these professionals. While highlighting topics including anxiety disorders and stress management, this book is ideally designed for clinicians, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, practitioners, medical professionals, EMTs, law enforcement, fire departments, military, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and students seeking current research on psychological therapy methods regarding first responders.

Book excerpt: My career in the fire service spanned 40 years. This book is my story of the harsh realities I and other first responders dealt with daily. When I entered the fire service, I was twenty years old. When I left, I was sixty. My career included tours of duty with four different fire departments. Some were small and some were large. Some were busy and some were slow. As for the victims I was called upon to help, they were all the same. Scared, confused, and in severe pain. I started as a Firefighter and climbed my way through the ranks to Fire Chief. During my journey I served twenty years as a Paramedic as well. My customers were the public. And the public calls 911 when their problems escalate beyond their ability to manage them. It was a career that demanded never-ending training, testing and the stress that goes with it. Combine this with the fact Firefighters, Paramedics, and Police Officers are exposed to and witness some of the most graphic and horrific scenes imaginable. The toxic mixture of career stress and mutilated bodies sometimes unknowingly leave deep scars. The kind of scars that over the years go undetected until something triggers the buried emotion. Most people are rarely allowed to look behind the curtain. The stories in this book are all true, they capture just some of those horrific events and the people who put their lives in my hands. When our customers call 911, it's their worst day. For us? It's every day.
